I'm currently working on a film that has a few prison scenes and my prison contact may not be able to get me in to a proper facility to record my own stuff in time, so I'm sending up a flare here.

I don't have a bunch of heavy intense needs. Really just a modern prison buzzer or two and a few automated door opens and closes. Also, any authentic prison yard weightlifting or mess hall ambiances would be useful, though we have loop group coming in to cover much of that.

I have a large personal library of sounds available to trade, so hit me up: rene [at] dallasaudipost.com and we'll see if we can get something worked out.

@Rene, thanks for posting your request. I believe that users helping other users is one of the strongest aspects of this site.

I'd suggest finding a freight elevator...much easier to gain access to than a prison. I recently recorded one and the doors/buzzers sounded very close to a modern prison. Especially distant perspectives. I'd trade; but since I was doing it for work, the sounds aren't mine to give away...

while I'll take any help I can get, I need something that feels very authentic. Do you participate here: thesoundcollectorsclub.wordpress.com the theme this month is door bells and buzzers, and your stuff could make a strong contribution there. I'm going to upload my own stuff later on today I think.

I was thinking about it, this month. Do you have to be a member to donate sounds?

you do, but what you get back in sounds recorded by others makes it very very worth it. There are some excellent recordists that participate. I certainly pay the fee and participate.

I've recorded some stuff already, but need to edit it. Anyway, I think I've already missed Rene's deadline, so I'll just put all my Tokyo sounds in one archive, upload them and post them here.
